One of the most fascinating elements about the Assassin’s Creed franchise is how with every instalment, Ubisoft takes the player on a journey to experience a completely new and fresh country. And the icing on the cake for gamers who also happen to be fans of the popular Game of Thrones series is how the next game might just be set in the place where a lot of the shooting for the HBO’s show took place.
